| A word about how I like to teach art. I am very fond of teaching "themes" in art. Every lesson is not taught by themes but more often than not they are theme-based. I find it's fun for the kids and fun for me. It's also less "schizophrenic-like" when teaching SIX different grade levels at two different schools in one week. When I do teach a "theme" or same-subject lesson to all grade levels, however, there is a difference in the lesson(s)/skills/etc. taught, as well as, expectations from children per grade level. For instance, the Halloween/Fall Drawings are all about trees, lines, shapes, background, foreground, etc. I have a great respect and admiration of trees and love to teach children how to draw them. I actually teach different techniques to different grade levels because as you might suspect, they see differently, think differently, and are able to perform differently. So the theme will be the same, the work and the some of the skills may even be similar. You will know, for certain, that they are learning differently and more indepth as they ascend the grades in elementary school. My QCC's or state and national requirements are different per grade level and that is one of the many reasons I don't teach the exact same thing to each grade level besides the obvious. Please feel free to drop in to any art class any time and see what we're doing and see what art is all about! ~Robin Addison Art Teacher |
